This document summarizes a student paper about the emergence of ethnoburbs containing Hmong populations in the Twin Cities suburbs of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. The paper argues that out-migration of Hmong from the Twin Cities core to these suburbs represents the evolution of these areas into ethnoburbs. It defines ethnoburbs as suburban communities with high concentrations of co-ethnic immigrants living and working together, though not comprising a majority. The paper uses census data and maps to show growing Hmong populations in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center compared to declining numbers in Minneapolis and St. Paul. It traces the history of Hmong resettlement in Minnesota and analyzes the landscape changes reflecting their suburbanization.

This document analyzes demographic changes in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood between 2000 and 2010 as a case study of gentrification. It finds that Pilsen experienced urbanization in the 1950s as its Mexican population increased from 0.5% to over 50% by 1970. While Pilsen maintained its identity as a hub for Chicago's Mexican community, rising property values and developers' interest in the neighborhood indicate the onset of gentrification. Maps of median income, property values, and percentage of Hispanic residents from 2000 to 2010 show Pilsen experiencing increasing income and property values alongside a declining Hispanic population, suggesting gentrification is transforming the working-class immigrant area.

This document discusses the aging population trends in New York State and the Capital Region. It notes that the population is aging as the large Baby Boom generation reaches retirement age. While the national population growth is steady, New York State's growth is slowing and it will lose two congressional seats. There are also differences in aging trends regionally, as upstate areas tend to see larger increases in their senior populations than downstate. The financial impact of migration also varies by age, with the Capital Region seeing a net loss of residents aged 55 and over despite a net gain of residents of all ages.

The document discusses using an optimization clustering method to detect ethnic residential clusters. It begins by reviewing existing measures of segregation and their limitations. It then introduces an optimization approach that identifies clusters with distinctively higher data values than other areas by optimizing a clustering quality index. The method is demonstrated on census data for Pacific and Korean populations in Auckland, New Zealand. The results are compared using different parameters and initialization methods.

This document summarizes a paper analyzing opposition to a proposed bridge connecting the predominantly black Boston neighborhood of Mattapan to the majority white suburb of Milton. The paper argues that residents opposing the bridge are defending a "white spatial imaginary" and the invisibility of whiteness as the dominant racial identity. While opponents claim concerns over property values and crime, the paper asserts their resistance has underlying racial motivations rooted in historical defenses of spaces characterized by whiteness. Mattapan and Milton historically saw racial shifts in the mid-20th century as black families moved into Mattapan homes vacated by white Jewish families, changing the racial demographics of the neighborhoods.

The cycle of community reinvestment and displacement of low-income.docx
The cycle of community reinvestment and displacement of low-income resi-dents is a process present in cities throughout the United States, Europe, and other developed nations. It has been well documented in numerous studies (Dreier, Mollenkopf, & Swanstrom, 2001; Nelson, 1988; Palen & London, 1984; Schill & Nathan, 1983; Smith & Williams, 1986). Also referred to as gentrification and displacement, it has been the source of considerable policy debate in Chicago at both community and citywide levels.5 Displacement—particularly when it takes place as communities are being revitalized—can move low-income populations further away from the very housing, educa-tional, and employment opportunities that could ameliorate the problems of past social and economic exclusion.Because community reinvestment was often seen as increasing racial and ethnic inequalities, the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations approached the Loyola University Chicago Center for Urban Research and Learning to examine the impact that gentrification has on different racial, ethnic, and economic groups in Chicago. The commission routinely receives complaints from residents and elected officials about increased racial and ethnic tensions in some communities experiencing reinvestment. Because many city development policies are predicated on the assumption that com-munity investment is always a positive, the commission felt a need to look at this process more closely.5The use of the terms gentrification and reinvestment can have different meanings to different people. In a meeting with the staff of the Commission on Human Relations early in the research process, we were advised to use the term gentrifica-tion in our interview and focus group questions. Since developers and those uncrit-ical of the gentrification and displacement cycle are more likely to use the term reinvestment, it was felt that use of this term might be perceived as biased by respon-dents. However, in the report itself we use the two terms interchangeably. by SAGE Publications, Inc. 78——Public SociologyThe Center for Urban Research and LearningThe Loyola University Chicago Center for Urban Research and Learning is an innovative, nontraditional collaborative university–community research center that only completes research when community partners are involved in all or most phases of the research.

Identity In Narrative A Study Of Immigrant Discourse
This document introduces the motivation and objectives of the book. It aims to investigate the construction and negotiation of identities among Mexican immigrants in the United States through qualitative analysis of narratives. Specifically, it seeks to understand how narrative discourse shapes identities and how identities are expressed locally in narratives. The book is based on interviews with 14 Mexican immigrants in Maryland. It argues that qualitative, discourse-based approaches provide valuable insights into immigrant experiences and identities that are often overlooked. Narratives in particular are well-suited for this analysis as they allow immigrants to freely discuss their experiences and negotiate meanings and identities.

Austin Tx Demographics - Census 2010
Making Sense of the Census
On August 2nd, Ryan Robinson, the chief demographer for the City of Austin gave this presentation to the Hacks and Hackers group.
The presentation includes an overview of the kinds of data the Census gives us, how the data sets differ and the limitations that causes, how the data is used differently by various organizations, as well as look at some of the great work done using Census data.

Brookings Census Data
The document analyzes census data on racial and ethnic shifts in the largest 100 US metropolitan areas from 1990-2010. It finds:
1) Non-whites and Hispanics accounted for 98% of population growth in large metro areas from 2000-2010, while 42 areas lost white population.
2) Nearly half of Hispanics live in just 10 large metro areas, though these areas only accounted for 36% of Hispanic growth over the past decade as the population dispersed more widely.
3) Asians are even more concentrated than Hispanics, with one-third living in just three metro areas, though Indian and Chinese Americans are dispersing to new areas at different rates.
Hispanic Residental Segregation In Springfield Ohio
This document analyzes Hispanic residential segregation patterns in Springfield, Ohio. It finds that Springfield does not fully follow trends seen in either large metropolitan cities or smaller micropolitan areas. Hispanics in Springfield have lower levels of educational attainment and income than national Hispanic averages and other racial groups in Springfield. The document recommends policies to increase Hispanic educational opportunities as a way to help improve their socioeconomic outcomes. It acknowledges limitations from the small Hispanic population size and outdated census data.

The Changing Face of lincoln
This document analyzes demographic changes in Lancaster County, Nebraska from 1970 to 2010 using census data. It focuses on Census Tract 9 in Lincoln, which remained fairly stable in population but became more diverse over time. In 1970, Tract 9 was 98.9% white with low diversity. By 2010, the white population dropped to 78.7% and diversity increased as the Asian and Hispanic populations grew. Overall, the diversity index in Tract 9 rose over 2000% during this period, representing Lancaster County's transition to becoming a more diverse community.
A Survey On Floating Population Migration Process Under The New Urbanization
This survey analyzed the migration patterns of 1,827 floating populations in Guangzhou and Liannan, China. In Guangzhou: 1) Social integration is low with family/social networks being simple and based mainly on other migrants. 2) Floating populations continually migrate to larger cities, affected mainly by economic factors. In Liannan: 1) Hollow villages with serious aging as young people leave. 2) Over 50% of respondents intend to return to hometowns, especially the elderly. 3) Rural benefits affect migration intentions, with more development meaning lower intentions to leave. Overall it examines factors influencing migration choices and social integration of floating populations.
Current issues and trends
This document discusses changing demographics in the United States, focusing on diversity and population shifts among major ethnic groups. It notes that while the US appears increasingly diverse, demographer William Frey's research found that minority populations remain concentrated in specific regions and metro areas. The document then examines population trends among Hispanics, Asians, blacks, and whites, finding that while Hispanics and Asians continue concentrating in gateway cities, both groups are dispersing more rapidly to new areas. It also discusses the movement of blacks to the growing Southern cities and of whites to states in the West, South, and Rockies.
Mapping minorities and their Media: The National Context – The UK
This document provides context on multiculturalism and minority media in the UK. It discusses the UK's history of migration from former colonies and the development of a multicultural society. While the UK promotes tolerance and inclusion, ethnic minorities still face discrimination and social exclusion concentrated in urban areas. The document also examines British media policies and proposals to promote inclusion and representation of minorities in media and culture to counter racism.
An Analysis Of Poverty In Hmong American Communities
This chapter analyzes poverty in Hmong American communities in California. It reviews theories on the transmission of poverty, such as the "culture of poverty" theory and structural explanations. The author conducted research to examine how Hmong Americans understand poverty, the strategies families use to cope with economic hardship, and the factors that make poverty persistent. The author argues that conditions of poverty are better explained by "segmented assimilation theory" than by a "culture of poverty." This theory suggests that key institutions shape individuals' opportunities, and understanding these contexts is important for explaining immigrant outcomes. The study aims to provide new insights into poverty within Hmong American communities.

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN "GREAT MIGRATION"
AND BEYOND
Stewart E. Tolnay
Department of Sociology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-3340;

Key Words mobility, race, adaptation, South, North
* Abstract During the twentieth century, African Americans participated in one
of the most significant demographic events in U.S. history. Their "Great Migration"
from the South to the North contributed to profound social, economic, demographic,
and cultural changes in northern cities. After the Great Migration, blacks continued
to move in search of opportunity as some returned to the South, while others moved
to suburbs or better neighborhoods within the North. My review focuses on the Great
Migration by discussing research that has examined its causes, the characteristics of
the participants, the adaptation of migrants to northern society, and their impact on
northern cities. I also briefly review research on return migration to the South and
residential mobility by African Americans. Finally, I identify key issues and discuss
possible data sources for future research.
INTRODUCTION
Of the traditional trinity of demographic processes (fertility, mortality, and migra-
tion), migration is probably the least studied by sociologists. This is somewhat
surprising, given that it is the demographic event experienced most frequently
throughout an individual American's lifetime. Furthermore, it is more "social"
and less "biological" than either fertility or mortality.
During the twentieth century, African Americans participated in two geographic
movements: internal migration and residential mobility.1 These movements, which
are fascinating from a sociological vantage point, had important short- and long-
term consequences for in ...
Chapter10
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 10 of Essentials of Sociology regarding ethnicity and race. It defines ethnicity as referring to the distinct cultural norms of a social group, including shared history, religion, ancestry, language, and sense of destiny. Race is defined as an externally imposed system of social categorization based on physical characteristics. Racialization is the actual imposition of a racial schema on a society. Racism involves prejudice and discrimination based on physical differences. The document then discusses models of ethnic coexistence in the US, global migration trends, and how to see racial and ethnic inequality in areas like education, income, and wealth.
Navigating Ethnic Identity in Neighborhoods of Difference - Thesis Defense
Navigating Ethnic Identity in Neighborhoods of Difference - Thesis DefenseAfricaChinaUrbanInitiative
This document summarizes Leah Weiler's MA thesis which examines ethnic identity and perceptions of urban space among residents in Ürümqi, China. The thesis uses questionnaires and focus groups in two neighborhoods to understand how Uyghur and Han residents perceive their neighborhood identities. It finds that social unrest is concentrated in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods and that Uyghur signage and language rights are subordinate to goals of stability. The thesis argues that inequality between urban and rural areas and between ethnic groups contributes to tensions, and that China's national urbanization strategy may help address socioeconomic conditions if implemented inclusively.The City As A European Symbol
The document discusses the evolution and role of cities throughout history as a European invention. Cities helped form identities in the past and this could help unite Europe. Contemporary Europe includes diverse cultures that cities are best equipped to cope with. Essential values like democracy and citizenship emerged from cities. Cities act as melting pots that produce new ideas through architecture, planning and the mixing of people and cultures. Nationalism later reduced cities' autonomy but their role in identity formation remains important.

METROPOLITAN PROBLEMS
Racism, Poverty, Crime, Housing, and Fiscal Crisis
ntil recently, urban problems were city problems. That is no longer the case as the
issues once associated with the large, compact settlement form have spread out, like
the metropolitan population and its economic activities, to characterize the entire urban
region. In the late 1960s and 1970s, especially during President Johnson’s Great
Society, urban problems were defined almost exclusively as those involving racial segregation,
poverty, violent crime, and drugs. Now, in the first decade of the twenty-first
century, poverty, unemployment, foreclosures, and homelessness, as well as the severe
economic recession itself, are particular issues of concern. As the attention of the federal
government in Washington, D.C., focuses on the major issues of the economy
and health care, the nation’s state governments seem to be ignored. Consequently,
adding to our other urban ills, we currently face more intense fiscal crises and their
impact on local public services and infrastructure.
Was there ever a baseline in America against which the problems of today can be
measured? As in the other industrialized capitalist countries of Europe, the quality of
urban life with the advent of capitalism in the 1800s was severe for all but the
wealthy. Early photographic images of American cities at the turn of the last century
feature overcrowding: immense traffic jams of primitive Model-T automobiles mixed
in with horse-drawn carts, tenements teeming with immigrants, and crowds of children
swarming across city streets. Until after World War II, city life in the United
States was plagued by frequent public health crises such as cholera outbreaks, high infant
mortality rates, alcoholism, domestic violence, street gang activity, and crime. For
much of our history, then, city life has been virtually synonymous with social problems.
Yet we know now that these same problems—crime, disease, family breakup—
are experienced everywhere.
The sociologists of the early Chicago School, in the 1920s and 1930s, believed that
the move to the city was accompanied by social disorganization. While subsequent research
showed that this perception was inaccurate, people in the United States still
rank small and middle-size cities or suburbs as providing the highest quality of life and
209
U
remain overwhelmingly interested in living in suburbs, especially for couples with
small children. The negative perception of the large city provides the basis for varying
mental images of place. Yet we have also seen that there are many positive aspects of urban
living and that the early belief in the loss of community among migrants to the
city was unfounded.
In previous chapters, we have tried to show that problems that appear to afflict
individuals are caused in part by factors that we cannot readily see. Consequently, an
explanation for the social disorganization often viewed in an individual’s fate lies in

* Abstract During the twentieth century, African Americans participated in one
of the most significant demographic events in U.S. history. Their "Great Migration"
from the South to the North contributed to profound social, economic, demographic,
and cultural changes in northern cities. After the Great Migration, blacks continued
to move in search of opportunity as some returned to the South, while others moved
to suburbs or better neighborhoods within the North. My review focuses on the Great
Migration by discussing research that has examined its causes, the characteristics of
the participants, the adaptation of migrants to northern society, and their impact on
northern cities. I also briefly review research on return migration to the South and
residential mobility by African Americans. Finally, I identify key issues and discuss
possible data sources for future research.
INTRODUCTION
Of the traditional trinity of demographic processes (fertility, mortality, and migra-
tion), migration is probably the least studied by sociologists. This is somewhat
surprising, given that it is the demographic event experienced most frequently
throughout an individual American's lifetime. Furthermore, it is more "social"
and less "biological" than either fertility or mortality.
During the twentieth century, African Americans participated in two geographic
movements: internal migration and residential mobility.1 These movements, which
are fascinating from a sociological vantage point, had important short- and long-
term consequences for in ...
Chapter10
This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 10 of Essentials of Sociology regarding ethnicity and race. It defines ethnicity as referring to the distinct cultural norms of a social group, including shared history, religion, ancestry, language, and sense of destiny. Race is defined as an externally imposed system of social categorization based on physical characteristics. Racialization is the actual imposition of a racial schema on a society. Racism involves prejudice and discrimination based on physical differences. The document then discusses models of ethnic coexistence in the US, global migration trends, and how to see racial and ethnic inequality in areas like education, income, and wealth.

Navigating Ethnic Identity in Neighborhoods of Difference - Thesis DefenseAfricaChinaUrbanInitiative
This document summarizes Leah Weiler's MA thesis which examines ethnic identity and perceptions of urban space among residents in Ürümqi, China. The thesis uses questionnaires and focus groups in two neighborhoods to understand how Uyghur and Han residents perceive their neighborhood identities. It finds that social unrest is concentrated in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods and that Uyghur signage and language rights are subordinate to goals of stability. The thesis argues that inequality between urban and rural areas and between ethnic groups contributes to tensions, and that China's national urbanization strategy may help address socioeconomic conditions if implemented inclusively.The City As A European Symbol
The document discusses the evolution and role of cities throughout history as a European invention. Cities helped form identities in the past and this could help unite Europe. Contemporary Europe includes diverse cultures that cities are best equipped to cope with. Essential values like democracy and citizenship emerged from cities. Cities act as melting pots that produce new ideas through architecture, planning and the mixing of people and cultures. Nationalism later reduced cities' autonomy but their role in identity formation remains important.

METROPOLITAN PROBLEMS
Racism, Poverty, Crime, Housing, and Fiscal Crisis
ntil recently, urban problems were city problems. That is no longer the case as the
issues once associated with the large, compact settlement form have spread out, like
the metropolitan population and its economic activities, to characterize the entire urban
region. In the late 1960s and 1970s, especially during President Johnson’s Great
Society, urban problems were defined almost exclusively as those involving racial segregation,
poverty, violent crime, and drugs. Now, in the first decade of the twenty-first
century, poverty, unemployment, foreclosures, and homelessness, as well as the severe
economic recession itself, are particular issues of concern. As the attention of the federal
government in Washington, D.C., focuses on the major issues of the economy
and health care, the nation’s state governments seem to be ignored. Consequently,
adding to our other urban ills, we currently face more intense fiscal crises and their
impact on local public services and infrastructure.
Was there ever a baseline in America against which the problems of today can be
measured? As in the other industrialized capitalist countries of Europe, the quality of
urban life with the advent of capitalism in the 1800s was severe for all but the
wealthy. Early photographic images of American cities at the turn of the last century
feature overcrowding: immense traffic jams of primitive Model-T automobiles mixed
in with horse-drawn carts, tenements teeming with immigrants, and crowds of children
swarming across city streets. Until after World War II, city life in the United
States was plagued by frequent public health crises such as cholera outbreaks, high infant
mortality rates, alcoholism, domestic violence, street gang activity, and crime. For
much of our history, then, city life has been virtually synonymous with social problems.
Yet we know now that these same problems—crime, disease, family breakup—
are experienced everywhere.
The sociologists of the early Chicago School, in the 1920s and 1930s, believed that
the move to the city was accompanied by social disorganization. While subsequent research
showed that this perception was inaccurate, people in the United States still
rank small and middle-size cities or suburbs as providing the highest quality of life and

U
remain overwhelmingly interested in living in suburbs, especially for couples with
small children. The negative perception of the large city provides the basis for varying
mental images of place. Yet we have also seen that there are many positive aspects of urban
living and that the early belief in the loss of community among migrants to the
city was unfounded.
In previous chapters, we have tried to show that problems that appear to afflict
individuals are caused in part by factors that we cannot readily see. Consequently, an
explanation for the social disorganization often viewed in an individual’s fate lies in

This document provides an introduction and literature review for a research paper that will examine inherent prejudices in refugee crises and policies using case studies of the current Syrian refugee crisis and World War II. The introduction outlines how the size and forced nature of recent migration flows have challenged global responses. The literature review discusses previous research on topics like state responsibility towards refugees, the role of international relations and institutions, and how examining past crises can inform understanding of current issues. The research will analyze primary and secondary sources to compare how Jewish refugees were treated in 1939 during World War II versus the post-war 1940s, focusing on responses from the US and UK.
